Disclosure 
Dr. Koppel has no conflict of interest to  disclose.
The New Jersey Department of Health does  not endorse or promote a specific brand or  vendor for pulse oximetry supplies and  equipment. Equipment and/or supplies  presented in the education are for  informational purposes only.
New Jersey Critical Congenital Heart Defects Screening Program
The Law
“The Commissioner of Health and Senior Services shall require each birthing facility licensed by the Department of Health and Senior Services to perform a pulse oximetry screening, a minimum of 24 hours after birth, on every newborn in its care.”
NJ first state to implement a mandate for pulse oximetry screening
Legislation signed into law June 2, 2011
Implementation date August 31, 2011
P.L. 2011, Chapter 74
Congenital Heart Defects
Minimum of 32,000 40,000 infants affected  each year in US
Approximately 25% of these are critical  congenital heart defects (CCHD) or about 2 in  1,000 live births 
New Jersey Critical Congenital Heart Defects Screening Program
Dylan was transferred to  Columbia University Medical  Center, and several days later  had the lifesaving surgery  correcting the abnormality  discovered from the newly  mandated newborn testing.
Dylan’s Story
On September 1,  a day after the law  mandating inclusion of pulse oximetry  testing on newborns became effective, a  hospital pediatrician informed Lisa and  Bill Gordon of Newton that the test  performed on their baby was abnormal  and he had a murmur. 
Dylan was rushed to Morristown  Medical Center, where it was determined  he needed specialized pediatric cardiac  heart surgery.

Rationale for Pulse Ox Screening
An estimated 2530% of newborns with CCHD could  be missed at the time of hospital discharge (Mahle et.  al., 2009)
About 1,200 more newborns with CCHD could be  identified at birth hospitals using pulse oximetry  (Peterson et al., 2013.)
Approximately 200 newborns have died each year  from missed CCHD and numerous others have  significant morbidity from delayed diagnoses  (Hokanson, 2010.)
Compare to an average 66 young athletes each year  who die suddenly of undiagnosed cardiac defects  (Maron et al. 2009)

Shock  global hypoxemic injury with multi organ dysfunction 
• Hypotension  • Poor ventricular function • Myocardial ischemia • Pulmonary hypertension • Renal dysfunction • Hepatic dysfunction • Decreased intestinal blood flow  NEC • DIC • Metabolic: hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia,  myoglobinuria, hypoxicischemic encephalopathy

Detection of CCHD Continuum 
Detection of CCHD
Not As Pink As You Think…
Some babies can initially appear healthy  Some babies do not have murmurs or cyanosis
Physical exam alone failed to identify half of CHDs  that were not detected by a prenatal ultrasound
It’s estimated that 30% of infant deaths from  CCHD occur prior to diagnosis

The Cyanotic “Blind Spot”
CCHD Screening with Pulse Oximetry
Indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a  patient's blood and variations in blood flow in the  skin
Can detect mild hypoxemia without apparent  cyanosis
Can provide continuous and direct values Noninvasive Easy to use and widely available Costeffective and extensively used

Screening Cost
CDC Study in 7 NJ Birthing facilities Mean screening time per newborn was 9.1  (standard deviation 3.4 minutes)
Hospitals’ total mean estimated cost per  newborn screened was $14.19 (in 2011 U.S.  dollars), consisting of $7.36 in labor costs and  $6.83 in equipment and supply costs
Peterson et al., 2014.
Screening Cost per Infant 
Laboratory Metabolic Screening $20.00   
Pulse Ox Screening  $14.19      
These cost estimates exclude follow-up costs, such as further diagnostic testing, as well as administrative overhead costs.

Reliability of Pulse Ox Screening  for CCHD
Metaanalysis of 13 eligible studies with data  for 229,421 newborn babies Overall sensitivity of pulse oximetry for detection  of critical congenital heart defects was 76.5%  (95% CI 67.7 – 83.5) 
Specificity was 99.9% (95% CI 99.7 – 99.9)  Falsepositive rate of 0.14% (95% CI 0.06 – 0.33) Low false positive rate when pulse ox done after  24 hours from birth compared to before 24 hours

Performing the Screen
Best results when infant is at least  24 hours of age 
Use proper sensor for the device 
Conduct screening in quiet area and, if possible, with  parent present to soothe and comfort the infant
Conduct screening while infant                                    is  awake and quiet
Avoid screening when infant is  crying, cold or in a deep sleep

Managing the Failed Screen
Unless a noncardiac cause can be identified for a  failed screen, an infant who fails the screen  should have a diagnostic echocardiogram done  before being discharged
This could involve an echocardiogram within the  hospital or birthing center, transport to another  institution for the procedure, or the use of  telemedicine for remote evaluation

Pediatrician
Early  Intervention
Early Care  and Education
First  Office Visit
Pediatrician should have access to all screening results  from hospital (Metabolic, CCHD, Hearing) 
This should be a “clean handoff” between the hospital  and pediatrician
If patient not appropriately screened at birth facility,  develop strategies for screening and evaluation

Oster, 2013.
If Your Patient Failed CCHD Screening
Confirm that the infant had a diagnostic  echocardiogram Make sure that the patient receives appropriate 
followup, such as being seen by a cardiologist 
Facilitate longterm followup for patients  diagnosed with CCHDs
